Professional know-how in terms of cost effective implementation
How many cleaners are required to perform the function, what specification, which methods, how much equipment, materials and so on.
Which labour saving systems can be used and have the most cost effective combination of ingredients chosen?
Once again specialist expertise is required!
Proper planning of required tasks, developing work site procedure and detailed Job Schedules is the starting point for operations. This ensures that all contractual and service objectives are built in and planned for. Staff are introduced to these as part of the site specific training and are then accessed against these for Qualification and ongoing performance monitoring.
We find that detailed and specific instructions leave little room for confusion and ensure that detailed work and periodic work take place (quality). This is a vital step in the achievement of our service objectives.
Ongoing audits and inspections by Supervisors and Management with feedback to staff, corrective action or recognition, reinforce desired behaviour and install a consistently high standard. For example, all areas are inspected, graded (good, fair, poor) and instant feedback given to staff and are followed up on.
We believe that employee satisfaction is vital for the achievement of our service excellence and customer satisfaction!
